I'm an extreme workaholic.

Reject cynicism. Reject certitude. And don't be a jerk. Be a good guy.

Human nature if it healthy demands excitement and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics He makes no passionless saints.
